Gerrard to Aston Villa..............??

[Sir X]

As for Gerrad , I am not a fan of his as a player, wasnt my favorite LFC player either. That said I think he will get more out of Bailey. Rafa and Klopp has taught him alot Aston Villa will avoid relegation and I hope he and Carragher never coach LFC.

Lampard is not a good coach. He'll be fired soon then come back next season with a new team.

The continuation of the racism in football, specifically English football. These opportunities are not given to Black ENGLISH coaches. In my many years of watching English football, I can only remember one black referee in the premier league.

Sam Allison set to become the first black referee in the Premier League for 15 years - and the second EVER... as he will officiate the Boxing Day clash between Sheffield United and Luton Town

Sam Allison will become the first black referee to officiate in the Premier League for 15 years when Sheffield United host Luton Town this afternoon.

He also becomes just the second black referee in the Premier League's history, following Uriah Rennie who last officiated a match in the top-flight back in 2008.

In 2020, Allison became the first black official in English football's top four divisions.

Steven Gerrard is 'in TROUBLE' in Saudi Arabia and 'WON'T walk into a Premier League job' if he fails

Steven Gerrard is under threat in his Saudi Arabian adventure and it is hard to see where he would go next if he is sacked, Ian Ladyman told Mail Sport's It's All Kicking Off podcast.

Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq tenure has taken a turn for the worse with an eight-game winless run, which has seen his side slip to eighth in the table, despite a significant summer spend.

Ladyman argued that 'nobody really cares' what is going on in the Saudi Pro League while Chris Sutton added that Gerrard would not walk into a top Premier League job afterwards.

Golden Generation of failed managers sums up the problem with privilege and celebrity culture


Failing upwards. It’s a modern phenomenon. Take Steven Gerrard. He turned Aston Villa into a mid-table and even relegation-battling side when in reality the players are good enough to make European places. While Unai Emery is a very good manager, it’s embarrassing for Gerrard that he has been so successful. It all goes to prove just how average Gerrard was.

The same goes for Frank Lampard at Everton – and now seemingly Wayne Rooney.

So where next for this trio of failed managers? It seems only the riches of Saudi Arabia are available to them. It is the last refuge of the failed former manager. Perhaps. Or perhaps they might think of learning the trade at a less exposed level, by which I mean somewhere in the fourth tier or lower. But that seems unlikely. Managers who have not been big players must look on and feel very aggrieved that they are being looked over in favour of a big name who has not proven themselves in the slightest.



Let’s be honest. These players have great respect from the next generation, but it is clear that is not enough. You have to have more than that. It’s been said that in all three cases they lack empathy, and that makes players not respond. I prefer a more obvious solution. None of them are actually any good. Simple as that.

A manager’s job is multi-faceted. If you are bad at any of those composite parts, it can cause you to fail badly. So you have to recognise your own limitations, but of course these are players who have been told they are too good to take advice from anyone.

Basically, if you’re a former player and a club offers you a job, don’t take it! There needs to be some self-awareness here. Obviously to the rest of us there is no link – or at least not inevitably – between a great player and even a good manager.

Owners, however, don’t employ the same wisdom. One suspects, they love the high profile such people give the club. And that is the major concern. But it is very embarrassing when it all turns to shiit. However, that will not stop another stupid chair from making the same mistake again.
